Deutschland

Is it rude to ask why and Israeli campaign is asking a Brit in Deutschland to apply for USA citizenship? What the fuck is that about?

When the fck is YouTube going to add a share function to bluesky? This is worth a watch and I'm a European. The USA destroying itself is a good thing for Europe. We've woken up. politicians have finally woken up. USA have made the rest of the world a competitor. www.youtube.com/live/6eG0aV-...

Hear! Hear! (And it happens across disciplines and departments)

Don't just listen to players. If given the option, they'll optimize the game out of their games, and the story out of their stories. It's our job to filter information and data and feedback into good work, and while we'll sometimes miss it's better than blindly following surveys.

80% of German VOTERS went for parties that promised to have nothing to do with the AFD... MEDIA: Huge win for AFD!

This is one of the many issues I refer to when I posted how broken and detrimental Streams review system is here bsky.app/profile/phil...

the first rule of player feedback is that players are not game designers. you are the fucking game designer. players don't know the first thing about game design nor do they know what they actually want until you do the work and give it to them. if we listened to players everything would be fortnite

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 #Google just launched a new era of tracking. Digital #fingerprinting. ❌ No consent ❌ No escape Here’s why this is a #privacy nightmare much worse than #cookies: πŸ‘‡ tuta.com/blog/digital...

www.reddit.com/r/degoogle/s... Google introduced device fingerprints rather than fix a really awful advertisement system. Personalised adverts has been broken forever.

Time to speed up my #degoogle

We spoke to game developers from Malaysia and Indonesia to better understand how AAA game publishers profit from other people doing their crunch overseas. youtu.be/bm7KUE1Kwts?...

Before its closure, the studio provided art and animation support for games like Assassin's Creed Shadows and Age of Empires 4. At least UbiSoft have commented. MIcrosoft, Naughty Dog, Blizzard? www.eurogamer.net/ubisoft-deep...

I've only just become aware of this. I don't see much in the way of statements from the big studios who hired Brandoville. The silence is deafening. Blizzard, Naughty Dog? www.thegamer.com/brandoville-...

Just learned about this resource, and would love to check it out, and cover it on the channel. Currently on the wait list. AbleToPlay is a great way to find accessible games. Check it out! πŸŽ‰ https://t.co/Ib8xGwMwPq

The major game development milestones: * Prototype * Alpha * Beta * Having great ideas for other games and hating the one you're currently working on * QA * Gold #gamedev #gamedesign

A new #AOE2 expansion just dropped. New Chinese DLC "dropping one of the most exciting DLC expansions for AgeII: DE yet, new content, new civilizations, to enjoy together across all platforms – #PC, #Xbox, and #PlayStation5." Camel trebs? and nest of bees. It looks like siege is a big focus.

No. That's not a model. That's a big firework. Malta doing Malta things. #photography

With dev and working in a startup, I very rarely get to make any art these days. Maybe that's why this has taken on a dark mood. Anyway I hope you enjoy it. #conceptart

If you take your time, don't rush and just enjoy the world around you. You'll see something wonderful. #landscapephotography

Someone has framed one of my photographs. They did a great job and I'm chuffed that some of my photographs have escaped the digital realms. #landscapephotography

My game page is now available on Steam and can be wishlisted! #gamedev #steam store.steampowered.com/app/3480120/...

Ironically #degoogling android is best achieved by buying a pixel phone and running grapheneOS. #degoogle

It looks like a big tech market for non American services is about to open up. Degoogling etc was already a grown area of interest. The current US gov is only speeding up the process. #degoogle #detech

Just sharing.

As per previous reskeets 40% of that industry sample are indie or in education. So for people in the game dev employment bracket that number is probably higher. Affected here is a broader definition than laid off tho. www.gamesindustry.biz/gdc-survey-4...
